Fight Night Champion Title Update #2 Wrapping Up, Some Details Revealed

Re: Fight Night Champion Title Update #2 Wrapping Up, Some Details Revealed

They need to stop reading message boards and do their best to polish this game on their own merit and understanding.

The two tuners are too contrasted. You don't get the sense that they are working with one product and revising or polishing it. And then with the Title Update (patch) two things were completely removed (1PKO and Cuts). How does that happen? Was it tested or was it deliberate? I highly doubt they purposefully removed two added features that they touted pre-release.

So now we are on the heels of a new patch and it's as if the game is sort of lost. I just don't get the sense that they are moving forward. It's more of a feeling that they take two steps forward one step back. I do enjoy the game, but I'd much rather them tell me, "This is our direction and work on it." Rather, it's more like it's a big beta test.

This game is basically getting beta tested by the fans. I wouldn't praise the producers for this game because there are so many glitches and bugs along with them trying to tune the game on the fly.

They need to let this game represent boxing realistically without the added arcade elements. There was a poll done and the fans overwhelmingly voted for a realistic boxing game.

The champion Mode is the only polished part of the game.

lol..maybe because it hasn't been touched since release.

To me the game is like a flight that took off with a destination in mind but then the captain came on and asked where the people really want to go. Some said LA, some NY. So the captain went towards LA because the majority said that. Then on the way to LA the captain said, "When we switched route, one of our engines quit working so we were going to stop in Chicago but the landing gear won't engage. "So we think it's best to head back home and start over."

"By the way, if you want peanuts you'll have to purchase XP points. And right while you're eating your peanuts we're going to rip them out of your hands and act like you never had them."

"Also, please excuse the odd looking pale faces on all of our flight attendants."

Anyone planning on starting over with a new OWC career when this comes out?

Not OWC, but I will give Legacy one last chance before I completely give up on this version.

What is taking soo long? I'm about to just give up on this game. I haven't even bought it yet, waiting on this patch to finally make it playable. SMH.

If you're looking to play FNC online, I wouldn't bother waiting for it. There are issues that go well beyond the body jab spamming and other various cheesy exploiters. Buying XP is a gamebreaker for most players including myself. A month of hard work beaten by someone who purchased maxxed out punches is lame beyond description.

If you're going to play alot of FNC offline, champion mode, legacy mode, etc. then the game is quite playable now. Just don't download any patches or tuner sets. The release version of the game does have it's flaws, but as i'm sure you've read, it has gotten worse with each update, and I'm having alot of fun in legacy mode with the release version, no patches or tuners. Obviously I can't play online this way, but OWC was broken before they broke it even more.

Hopefully the next update will be what it's been promised to be, but I wouldn't hold my breath, especially for you guys looking strictly at online gameplay.

Was an update released?

Not yet. Some time in June. My guess is the actual work on the patch is done, and it is awaiting approval by Sony. My best guess, based on rumor and past experience, is it will be available between the 14th and 21st of June.

Let me get this straight.. It takes more energy to move backwards than it does any other direction... Really?? I don't like the sounds of that at all. Sense the footwork isn't realistic, and now players will be penalized for moving backwards, the game will be more of a slug fest than before.

You want to promote movement, not penalize it. But, that was something probably added to balance things out and please both sides.

Are you asking game -wise or real life? In real life yes, your legs wear down faster backing up more than any other movement.

Re: Fight Night Champion Title Update #2 Wrapping Up, Some Details Revealed

I guess it depends on how it's implemented. Pressuring a fighter that's moving back, and having more energy sapped makes sense. Moving back from a stationary, or non-aggressive, opponent and being penalized is completely different. I hope the latter doesn't end up being the case.

Personally I like the way the game feels right now. You have to wear a fighter down, then pour it on in the late rounds to score KD's or KO's. Stamina feels about right as well (could be nerfed a little more even). Only thing that needed to be tweaked was body spamming. But, we'll see how it plays out. They have made some progress in certain areas.

"Max Stamina Loss/Recovery overall has been adjusted."

Does this mean stamina loss will be higher and recovery will be lower? Anyone know how they adjusted it? This could be the biggest factor right here. If they lowered the stamina this game could be awesome and very enjoyable over the next year plus.

No, I think they will raise the stamina again, because a lot of people complained that after the latest patch the stamina was way too low in the later rounds and the boxers were already exasted in the fourth round. I might be wrong though.

Re: Fight Night Champion Title Update #2 Wrapping Up, Some Details Revealed

I think stamina isn't right the way it is now. I'm probably in the minority, but I hate going online and me and the other guy can both throw 100+ punches for 9 straight rounds and still come out in round 10 and have over 90 energy.

I think if someone throws over 100 punches through the first three rounds, then I should be able to destroy them if I managed my punch count wisely. I don't like 75-100 punch rounds. I want to throw 30-50 at the most per round and still be a bit tired from it.

Re: Fight Night Champion Title Update #2 Wrapping Up, Some Details Revealed

I could be wrong, but when I play I always feel like I'm fighting against two different stamina for the cpu. One is the bar and that one is for punching stamina , then the other is stamina bar for body shots recieved. I beat up on the boxer body when I do knock them down I see its harder for them to get up, but the punching stamina never goes anywhere, I'm beating the crap out of the cpu body punches, shots to the face and dropping them too and that freaking stamina bar doesn't fall . it goes back up after each round, meanwhile my stamina and health doesn't get the same love the cpu does, what I would like to see is they dev set the cpu levels at the same the human players does.
